I'm pretty ambivalent about Jokinen. It's nice to have a player who can be plugged into all 12 F positions and not really hurt you.

Is that worth $2.1M? Probably not. Besides, they can pay Jeffrey 1/3 the money, if that's the minimum standard for a utility F.(Of course, Jeffrey doesn't appear to have the capacity to actually help very much.)

Jokinen produces in a top 6 role and primarily as a center in that top 6...if hes not in that role, his productivity has and will continue to suffer. its the same spiel that had him scratched and struggling in carolina. if you put him in the bottom 6, its a waste, outside of faceoff situations.
